Daily Meal: Three Brothers, El Bollilo among top 50 bakeries in U.S.

Three Brothers Bakery, which was founded in 1949, came in at No. 11 and was one of only two Houston businesses to make the list. El Bolillo Bakery, which specializes in Mexican pastries, was No. 44 on the list.

No other Texas bakeries made the list.

So what was the criteria for making the list? Here’s what Daily Meal said in a release:

“In order to assemble our ranking, we sorted through more than 1,400 bakeries and whittled it down to America’s top 50 using the criteria of: whether they bake both breads and pastries (we didn’t exclude them if they don’t however), originality, how long they’ve been around for, if they have notable and award-winning chefs, if they make all their baked goods from scratch and their buzz factor.”

Three Brothers Bakery has two shops and will open a third store soon on Washington Avenue. Find the nearest here.
